Breakdown Precedes the Breakthrough


The world is not to be put in order;
the world IS Order incarnate.
It is for us to harmonize with this order!

This month we get several opportunities to connect to a deep and powerful healing, for ourselves and our planet. We can heal our past, present and future by grounding our intent at this time. This month, we do a lot of sorting and sifting, organizing and clearing that which no longer serves. The first rule of the Universe is ORDER. This is the time to get your life - mind, body and spirit - in ORDER. Consider it a renovation of sorts ... renovating the "old you" - to rebuild a better, stronger, more efficient & effective "new you". The "new you" has all the old reliable and sturdy parts, but now we are "upgrading" other parts and then integrating the two. And above all, remember this is an energy affecting EVERYONE in one way or another, and we are all at different stages in the process of "renovating" our lives, whether physical, financial, mental, spiritual, emotional or all of the above. (Mutual respect for each other's process and a little compassion go a long way.)

The reason people renovate places instead of bulldozing them to the ground, is because they have inherent value which they seek to preserve. It is time for you to FIND the value within YOU and PRESERVE IT by any means necessary. In order to do that, you have to inspect and assess what's damaged and what's still solid and useful (about your self and your circumstance). Once you have assessed what goes and what stays, that's when it gets messy and uncomfortable, because then you have to actually start pulling the place apart.

Your effort to improve will inevitably make others uncomfortable too. Be ready for that. As you change, everything around you changes ... or goes away. What I have discovered is ~ those people and circumstances which leave during these periods of cleansing and healing, sometimes are only gone temporarily and eventually reintegrate back in to your life, accepting you for who you are and forging new, stronger bonds. While other people and circumstances that leave your life at this time, leave permanently and that is ultimately for the greater good - to have them gone SOONER than later, be grateful - not sad.

This month, you have access to discerning what is relevant and useful in the present moment.

Nothing is worth more than THIS DAY.
You cannot re-live yesterday.
Tomorrow is still beyond your reach.

  • What are you doing in the present moment to really take your life and circumstance to the next level?
  • And what are you doing in the present moment which no longer serves your Highest good, nor does it express the Truth of who you ARE (TODAY)?
  • What are you doing DAILY to make your dreams, visions and aspirations happen?
  • Are you stuck in survival mode? (a distraction)
  • Are you helping other grown folks when you don't have your own life in order? (a distraction)
  • Are you attracting chaos & crises? (a distraction)
  • What do you do to honor your word to your SELF? (We always make more effort to keep our word to others.)
  • What are you doing this day that feeds your soul?
  • What are you doing to express who you are TODAY?
  • Do YOU believe you are the same person from a year - 5 - 10 years ago?
If you know that you ARE a different person, then the sooner YOU acknowledge and honor that "new you", the sooner the rest of the world will too.

This month is your chance to:
  • Release guilt and embrace the value of each experience's lesson while forgiving your Self and others for any transgressions as well.
  • Release criticism and embrace compassion and patience with the process (as you would expect for yourself as you grow and learn).
  • Release the need to have everything "perfect" before expressing it and embrace trusting your Self to know how to respond in any given situation.
  • Release all petty distractions and embrace your inner authority to direct your own energy (consciously).
This is the energy of the "realistic dreamer". So take advantage of the energy which supports you in opening the channels, allowing the flow of energy between you and the Universe, facilitating the healing. As you are healed and once you clear the debris of the past, doing the work (realistic) then attracting the "dream" is effortless.
